5. Claims.

This invention relates toa combinedsleeveand mitten for garments.

One of the objects of this invention isthe provision of a mitten orglove which will be permanently attached to the sleeve of a garment sothat it cannot belost by the wearer of the garment.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a mitten or gloveof the foregoing character which when not in use may be very readily chiReferring to the drawing in which like reference characters indicatelike parts:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of my invention showingthe mitten in position for use.

Fig. 2 is another perspective view showing the mitten in the first stepof folding same into the sleeve. I

Fig. 3 is another perspective view showing, in dotted lines, the mittenfolded back into the sleeve, and having parts broken away to showdetails of construction.

Fig. 4 is an elevational View showing the mitten in position for use,and having parts broken away to show in section details of construction.

Referring to the drawing wherein is shown a preferred embodiment of ourinvention, the numeral 5 indicates, generally, a garment sleeve to whichis connected a mitten indicated, generally, by the numeral 1. It is tobe understood that the term mitten is to include a glove or any form ofhand covering.

The sleeve 5 is of conventional or approved design and is comprised oftop and under sections 8 and 9 respectively. The under section 9terminates at the cuff line III, while the top section 8 has acontinuation which forms the back ll of the mitten. VThile this integralconstruction is preferable, it will be understood that the top sectionand the continuation may be formed of separate pieces joined as by aline of stitching. Secured to the marginal edges of the back II is acomplementary member I2 which with the member ll forms an envelope toreceive the hand of a wearer.

the sleeve 5 over its whole circumference, but only along the topsection 8 of the sleeve. The mitten and the under section 9 of thesleeve are disconnected and an opening I4 is formed therebetween, theopening extending circumferentially over the under section of thesleeve.

, An opening I5 is provided in the top section 8 of the sleeve proximateto the cuff line [0a and extends circumferentially thereover. A flap [6connected. to the upper marginal edge of the opening [5 is provided witha buttonhole I! and is secured in position by a button [9 carried on thetop section 8. A lining 20 is secured interiorly of the sleeve at thecuff line and at the lower marginal edge 2| of the opening l5 and. formswith the top section 8, a pocket 22 arranged to accommodate the mittenl, as will be hereinafter described.

When it is desired to wear the garment without using the mittens, eachof the mittens may be folded back along the cuff line ma, shown by thedotted line in Figure 2, and tucked into the pocket 22 through theopening 15. The pocket 22 extends to a length greater than that of themitten I so that the mitten can lie therein without requiring the sameto be folded. A button [9' is provided on the face l2 of the mitten andis engageable with a buttonhole I1 when the mitten is accommodated inthe pocket 22. This serves to retain the mitten in out of use positionand eliminates the danger of the mitten being pulled out of the pocket.When the mitten is in folded back position, as shown in Figure 3, themarginal edge 24 of the face of the mitten lies substantially contiguousto the cuff line Mia, and

a very neat and attractive appearance is presented without any bulge ordeformation of the sleeve.

While a mitten is shown in the drawing, it will be understood that aglove having a pocket for each finger or any other suitable handcovering may be used.
